EXIT FROM THE CARRIAGES.
The discussion OF an underground railroad connect
inc tho Battery and the upper part of the city has led
emmy references to the underground railroads of
rordon. A gentleman who had occasion last summer

CITY, lie said yesterdays
Except in the warmest days the underground rail-
road in London Is most comfortable and convenient
